like a buffet of historical / pre-1900s Western hymns of any tradition, hmm. If music be a guide to the proper Church (and I am not a musician or any sort of student), then am utterly confused but probably couldn't go Orthodox. Liturgical refinement is very nice, but sometimes the American 19th century, Evangelical revival hymns are their own sublime comfort (not always in the happy, carefree way.)

All anyone needs to know about Western liturgical chant is that Gaelic Psalm chanting from the Isle of Lewis is better than anything. Well, except for maybe Mozarabic chant (hey, I've got to promote my phony-baloney heritage, right?), but the Romans will elect a unicorn pope before that ever comes back as anything more than a reconstructed curiosity on any wide level...it's a shame, as it is the Orthodox form of worship indigenous to the Iberian Peninsula. The EO and the RC both use it in Spain, though it is dwarfed by the overwhelming presence of the 'standard' Latin rite.
